Yes if it is in need I will make it. Let me see if I can get one here locally for mock up and add it to the list.

will this work on tanks that are not rimless? Also wish it had enough space to hide the heater in it :(

Yes. Without the retainer clip.

Could you explain a little in easy language what the holes at the bottom of the box will do? Dont quite understand. Thanks.

It just allows for the water to flow slightly through the bottom so the amount of water in the skimmer chamber matches the water level in the display.

The benefit here is that there is still a bit of draw from the bottom as well as the top. During evaporation the whole tanks volume is available as opposed to just a small area in the skimmer box. This will allow you to go longer between top offs without getting air sucked into the intake due to the water level being too low.

this is going to be so much better than the ugly tube surface skimmer i have now lol. it always worries me because my clowns like to sleep around it and sometimes they get stuck by the suction. it doesn't harm them but it's just annoying. this looks perfect.

7 1/8" tall will add the sizes of each to the site for everyone.

May not work for some if they have shallow tanks and have modified the intake pipe.

Modifying the intake pipe would make the unit not fit properly.

CRAP! Why don't I check more sub forums more often! I have been looking for something like this for so long and I just posted a thread about it a couple weeks ago. Could've used that free shipping but I'm happy to jump on board now.



Just to double check these fit with rimmed aquariums correct?
